Remembering Henry "Duffy" Rathbun
As his nickname suggests, Duffy was an avid golfer and regularly invited associates and partners to play with him. Duffy and his wife of 56 years, Sheilah Moore Rathbun, had a thoroughbred horse breeding and racing farm in Middleburg, Virginia, and both were active in open space preservation efforts in Virginia. Duffy once persuaded Lloyd Cutler to buy a racehorse with him; the horse lost every race he ran, providing much amusement to Duffy's and Lloyd's colleagues. He had another horse that he bought in a foreclosure sale, and aptly named "Courthouse Steps." Duffy's wife Sheilah died in 2005. Duffy is survived by three children, Gordon Rathbun, Jennie Rathbun and Sheila Rathbun Benfey.
